Oh, I agree, I'm just suggesting that even mediocrity could save Linder long-term...if he could somehow get there. It isn't like the Cowboy faithful demand championships - we just want an enjoyable trip to Vegas or somewhere else warm, a win or two in the MW Tourney or every other bowl game, and so...

The senate has now apparently voted to defund Women's and Gender Studies programs. Not that I particularly understand how that degree leads to employment (and wouldn't recommend it) but you might as well cross off Wyoming as a State that says it supports freedom of speech and thought, and, for a St...

Valid points. Truth is, we don't have an alternative. We are stuck. It is also true that Linder built UNC. But he did it at a time before NIL and the portal. Those two variables - I would suggest - would have gutted him at UNC. But I hate post hoc, flawed logic, so I will leave it at that. I will b...

From a distance, it looks as though the Wyoming legislature is poised to do away with the notion of a block grant for the university. This would mean that, in future budget cycles, the university would have to present its budget like any other agency, and be subject to line item approvals by the leg...

Whether the players were deflated is a subjective call. I can't prove it either way. Neither can you. The reality is that Jeff wasn't on the bench (again) and clearly has irritated the officials to the point that they are willing to toss him at the drop of a hat. Fair or not, they have had enough o...

Officiating is not our problem. Playing crappy basketball and effort are our problems. The more we amplify our gripes about the refs, it almost feels like we are playing into the victim culture Jeff has cooking in Laramie. Whoa whoa whoa, I wasn’t watching the game. It was a question. I misread you...

Last night you could see the players deflate as Linder left the court. His basketball brilliance and leadership do nothing for them in the locker room. The refs might have it out for him, but he has to understand that and double down on coaching his kids and ignoring the officials. Clearly they don...

Exactly this. Ike is a bigger problem than Linder or Wyoming can solve. It's not being able to keep Reynolds, Dusell, Oden, Marcus Williams etc around that gets you this kind of roster. Agree. DuSell was willing to go to perennial basketball basement dweller Fresno State to get out of here. By all ...

If Ike got 500k from Gonzaga, then I don't think Bohl had to contend with anything like that. The one physical stud we had on offense, Neyor, left for big money. Maybe we don't have to deal with it as much in football because most of our players are not going to make a major impact on a P5 team. If...

Last year was a disaster. This year is just a trainwreck. It is a slightly less severe trainwreck than we were expecting, but it is still a trainwreck. Of the players that are listed, only Manyawu is any good. But you are correct - we are not getting rid of him. Linder should probably be the last b...

I just don’t see a lot of hope for the program as far as competing with the top of the conference. Linder’s contract runs through 2027 and I don’t see how we can afford to take the financial hit for a firing this year or next year. We spent the entire offseason and season getting all of the new pla...

I think the officials are tired of him. I’m tired of him. He is always bitching and moaning. Coach your team, Jeff. Looks like they need a bit of coaching based on what I saw. The calls he got mad about were good calls. The moving screen that got him the hook was obvious. It was fun to watch Nevada...

Officiating is not our problem. Playing crappy basketball and effort are our problems. The more we amplify our gripes about the refs, it almost feels like we are playing into the victim culture Jeff has cooking in Laramie. Effort wasn't an issue. Execution was. People who call out the effort of thi...

I do think the seating situation has a lot to do with atmosphere. To me seating density is as important as total numbers. If the lower 1/3 was packed, i think people would be more likely to get loud and improve the atmosphere. When everyone is spread out, it dies. No doubt about it. If the reseatin...

I’m surprised he isn’t tossed more. Sit behind the bench sometime and you will be left shaking your head. He spends every game berating officials from buzzer to buzzer. His demeanor is crap and not encouraging to players IMO. I get it that there are some times that call for getting after the offici...

Wow. Is he planning to coach a full game the rest of the way?

https://footballscoop.com/news/sources-colorado-state-to-dismiss-ad-joe-parker $28 million deficit. Yikes. And it's likely to get worse with the stadium payments escalating. You have to hand it to the Ewes though, they are never content and don't settle very often. Someday they will get it right in...

I have never put much stock in comparing coaches at UW. So I try not to do it. I do put a lot of stock in an individual coach's record. As the old adage says, you are what your record says you are. Bohl has a career 61-60 record. He was and always will be a mediocre coach to me. Great coaches win co...

1-21 in conference over those years. How quickly folks forget I guess. Bad teams also. Bohl's are right up there against worse competition. Bohl was 61-60 at Wyoming. We can slice, dice, excuse, lament, and discount, but the reality is that he was average. He won some games against P5 schools - and...
